Haiku Reflections: Late Summer Beauty

It’s not quite “late” summer but I thought of all the varieties of flowers and plants that bloom at specific times during the summer season, when I wrote the title for this post.

I’m actually looking forward to the fall. The intense heat is just too much for me and it’s been relentless here in BC for the past 2 weeks, over 30C most days and humid. Hopefully, it will cool down soon and more blessed rain will fall. We will never take rain for granted again, will we? The effects of global warming are very real and evident, in this area.😦

On a happier note, I finally have my haiku photos/poems completed and prints on order, for my haiku journal proposal. I had to really “play” with the text and photo size to get it looking right. Previous prints hadn’t turned out, to my satisfaction.

What a beautiful photo. Flowers are certainly a visual delight. I also worry about the effects weather is having on earth and it’s inhabitants. We don’t really have summers anymore. It’s more like fall here.

Congrats on your blog award. Your list was a good one. Hope all is well.

Catching up finally (pant pant). Oh this is such a lovely pink with the touches of orange within. It is interesting how the northeast has had such a cool summer, where the northwest has had such a hot one. It’s a reverse. I don’t know why I had it in my head that you were in the British Isles. Now I will have you in the right place! 🙂
